Chapter 3: Starting the Shopping Spree

Early the next morning, Li Su drove alone to the Resort, planning to discuss a major matter with Uncle Liu.

“What? You want me to sell the Resort? Su Su, this is your mother’s hard work. How could you sell it?”

Upon hearing Li Su’s words, Uncle Liu immediately expressed strong opposition.

“If you find it troublesome, I can take care of the Resort. You just need to sit back and collect the money. This Resort is your mother’s hard work; you can’t be so willful.”

Seeing Uncle Liu’s resistance, Li Su remained silent for a moment before speaking: “Uncle Liu, I have a friend who works in the Municipal Government. She said this area is about to be zoned as a Green Garden. If we sell the Resort early, we can minimize our losses.”

Uncle Liu was smart and immediately understood the situation, so his attitude changed drastically.

“So that’s how it is! Alright, I’ll make time to look into it and see if we can get a good price.”

“By the way, your father came by yesterday to check the accounts, and I scolded him. Your mother has only been gone for a few months, and he already wants to be the owner of the Resort. Hmph, what a piece of trash!”

Li Su nodded, her expression serious: “Uncle Liu, don’t pay him any mind. Selling the Resort should be done sooner rather than later. It’s best to find a buyer within two days; selling at a low price is fine. If the documents come out, things will get tricky.”

“Also, keep this matter to yourself. Don’t inform anyone until it’s sold. I’m telling you, when the time comes…”

After leaving the Resort, Li Su first went to a Car Rental Agency to rent a Small Truck, then officially began her grand plan.

After the Zombie Crisis erupted, Earth was hit by natural disasters like Extreme Cold, Polar Night, and Acid Rain. Later, even plants and animals mutated.

Although social order collapsed, with the establishment of Bases, some industries and agriculture began to resume operations. After the eighth month of the Apocalypse, the food crisis was somewhat alleviated.

Although mutated crops and Mutated Beasts didn’t taste particularly good, they at least filled the stomach. Major Bases started selecting seeds, cultivating seedlings, and domesticating docile Mutated Beasts.

Of course, normal crops and poultry still existed, but in limited quantities, causing prices to skyrocket and even reach a point where they were scarce despite high demand.

Anyway, with over three hundred square meters of Space, she could easily store enough supplies to live comfortably for many years, so Li Su wasn’t worried at all.

She drove the Small Truck directly to the Grain and Oil Wholesale Market, first buying two hundred bags of delicious Glutinous Rice.

This Glutinous Rice was hotel-grade, of good quality, with each bag weighing 40kg.

Li Su didn’t have a big appetite, and since many Bases provided basic meals for Survivors, one bag of rice could probably last three to four months.

Plus, she needed to buy other foods, so two hundred bags of rice were more than enough to last her until the end of her life, if she lived that long.

After leaving the Grain and Oil Wholesale Market with a truck full of rice, Li Su headed straight to the Daily Necessities Wholesale Market.

When she reached a remote, deserted spot, she specifically got out of the truck and stored all the rice in her Space.

Upon arriving at the Daily Necessities Wholesale Market, Li Su bought hundreds of boxes of Tissues and about a hundred boxes of Sanitary Pads in one go. Additionally, she got several large boxes each of Shampoo, Body Wash, Toothpaste, and more.

She would later awaken an Ice Ability, so she didn’t need to worry about water at all. It was especially necessary to stock up on personal hygiene products.

After the workers loaded these items onto the truck, Li Su promptly paid and drove off, heading to the Non-staple Food Wholesale Market.

Items like Canned Fruit, Canned Meat, Eight-treasure porridge, Ham Sausages, Instant Noodles, and Self-heating Hot Pots were particularly convenient to eat and were essential supplies in the Apocalypse.

Besides eating them herself, she could also use these goods for trading at critical moments to exchange for other supplies.

As before, when she drove to a remote spot, Li Su placed her hand on the boxes, and the entire truckload of items was stored in her Space.

Seeing that it was already 2 PM, Li Su finally went to a Restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and ate with great relish.

Before this, Xu Yongmei had called to ask if Li Su would be home for lunch.

But to be honest, Li Su was quite impressed by Xu Yongmei.

Who would have thought that for the sake of profit, Xu Yongmei could act for over 20 years, patiently pretending to be good sisters with Li Su’s mother.

And now, even though Xu Yongmei clearly disliked her, she still diligently played the role of a good stepmother, flawlessly and impeccably.

If Li Su hadn’t been reborn and known the whole story, she would definitely have been deceived by the illusion Xu Yongmei created.

Eating the delicious food, Li Su felt very satisfied. Considering that her Space could keep things fresh and at a constant temperature, she planned to order a large batch of pre-cooked meals in a couple of days.

In the Apocalypse, ordinary people were grateful just to have enough to eat, let alone enjoy good food. But since Li Su had a Space and money, she naturally wouldn’t shortchange herself.

As soon as she got home, Li Hui arrived with Li Su’s favorite fruits and snacks.

Young and handsome Li Hui was particularly gentle and considerate, completely captivating the old Li Su.

But now, in Li Su’s eyes, Li Hui was no different from a pile of dog poop on the roadside.

“Su Su, my mom knows you’re sick and is very worried about you, so she asked me to come keep you company,” Li Hui said, habitually taking Li Su’s hand.

But Li Su reacted quickly, subtly pulling her hand away and showing a gentle smile.

“Please thank your mom for me. When I have time, I’ll definitely visit her.”

“Mm, my mom also said she’ll invite your whole family to dinner next week to discuss our wedding,” Li Hui said with a smile, looking very much like he was looking forward to being with Li Su.

Who would have thought Li Hui’s acting skills were also so superb? His tone and expression were exceptionally natural, with no flaws at all.

This reminded Li Su of the scene where Li Hui eagerly urged Li Peng to act, cutting open her head to take the crystal core for Xu Xiaomin to use.

“But my mother has only been gone for a few months. It seems inappropriate for us to talk about marriage at this time,” Li Su frowned, looking somewhat troubled.

Li Hui still looked affectionate: “We can get the marriage certificate first and hold the wedding later. My parents really like you and are urging me to marry you soon.”

Li Su pretended to shake her head helplessly: “Sorry, I’m not thinking about marriage right now. Let’s talk about it later.”

Want to marry her?

Hah, more like wanting to quickly swindle her assets.

Scumbag, dream on!”
